Shimano Curado B38 conversion?

Post by jscarbr1 »

Is it possible to install the gears for a 201 B38 into a 201 BSF, or ANY other lefty reel?
Im looking for a slower retrieve but the B38's and B5's are hard to find. To add to the problem Shimano neglected us lefties when they made the new curado.
Will someone please help me with this?
Thank you, and God bless.

No, you cannot convert a Super Free reel to 3:8-1. Different, gearing types. You can convert a Curado 201B to 5:1, or a new E7
201 to 6:1.

You can convert the new Curado 201E7 to 6.2:1. The older Curado B can be changed to 5:1 or 3.8:1.
